Pull-out suture fixation is widely used to fix zone one flexor tendon injuries. The original technique of Bunnell generally has good results. However, in some cases, it may result in complications, including nail deformity and infection. The all-inside techniques for fixation of the tendon at this zone cannot totally replace the Pull-out technique. In this article, we propose a modification of the pull-out technique, which can reduce the complications and report the results of our patients' series.

Locking plates have a rapidly growing process especially in the past decades and results are satisfactory especially in the osteoporotic bones compared to non-locking compression plates. There are many forms of failure in the fracture fixation of locking plates, and screw pull-out is one of the main failure reasons. In this study, we aim to investigate pull-out failure in locking plates using locking spongious screws.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate, whether polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) secondary crowns could be considered as alternative to gold standard in terms of their physical properties and manufacturing costs.
Methods: An upper jaw model with six implants was used. Frameworks with either 6 PEKK- or 6 electroplated secondary crowns were cemented in a wear simulator.

Background: Previous research on spinal alignment and postoperative outcomes after cervical and upper thoracic fixation has suggested that clinical and patient-reported outcomes are improved when certain anatomical parameters are maintained. These parameters include the cervical sagittal vertical axis (cSVA), C2 and T1 slopes, and cervical lordosis (CL). For patients with primary and metastatic tumors involving the subaxial cervical and/or upper thoracic spine, there is minimal guidance on how to apply these parameters.

Background: The fracture of an endodontic instrument within the root canal system can occur during root canal therapy, complicating thorough cleaning and shaping. Consequently, managing the broken fragment becomes crucial.
Methods: Eighty Nickel-titanium (NiTi) #20 K-files (Mani, Tochigi, Japan) were cut 8 mm from the tip, fixed into a corkboard, and classified into five groups (n = 14 each).
